In real and everyday life in business, management, politics, crisis conflict, education, etc. group meetings, each individual in the group does not think in the same way (divergent thinking) in real life, humans tend to go off on tangents, lose the original focus for the group meeting. Facilitators are needed to get ideas to converge in a way that reaches the decision point (Doyle and Kaner, 2007). A facilitator is a person
Decision-making is a process through which choices are made from desirable alternatives, regarded a cognitive process that results in the choosing of a course of action or belief from a variety of alternative possibilities.

3,000 different interest groups that are formally recognized by the European Union (Kirchner 2011). These interest groups represent a variety of interests and vary in the amount of influence that they actually have on the policy making process.

a broad theory that insists everyone in a group is of one mind and cooperates together for the same decision. There are many different conditions when groupthink is being applied.

The theory is applied during group thinking situations, which can be seen most notably in politics and other executive decision-making. Before understanding how these conditions
In organizations, decision-making often requires many people to work together and spend a lot of time in meetings. These meetings may be enhanced using a Group Decision Support System.

GDSS are targeted to supporting groups in analyzing problem situations and in performing group decision-making tasks” (Power 2005). Group Decision Support Systems are

Fred Luthans writes, “Both communication and decision making are dynamic, personal processes relevant to the social cognitive framework and the study of organizational behavior.” (Luthans, 2011, pg. 259) Communication and decision making are tied together. A person has to be able to interpret different types of communication in order to form a proper decision. Many companies have seen the benefit of people working in teams.

are three antecedent conditions of groupthink: 1) group cohesiveness; 2) structural faults; and 3) provocative situational context. According to Janis, the most essential antecedent is group cohesiveness. This antecedent “implies a conventional understanding of the term as the ‘forces which are acting on members to stay in a group.’” (McQueen 55).
